Deterioration of the Internal Structure of Loess under Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
To understand the structural damage evolution process of loess under the action of dry‐wet cycles, a triaxial test of a dry‐wet cycle was performed by considering three influencing factors: initial moisture content, amplitude of the dry‐wet cycle, and number of dry‐wet cycles.

Influence of Drying–Wetting Cycles on the Water Retention and Microstructure of Residual Soil

Geofluids, 2022
Due to frequent changes in the humid and hot environment, the residual soil with a particle-size distribution (PSD) from gravel to clay experiences multiple drying–wetting cycles.

Deterioration Characteristic and Constitutive Model of Red-Bed Argillaceous Siltstone Subjected to Drying-Wetting Cycles

Lithosphere, 2022
Red-bed argillaceous siltstone is one of main types of rocks composing unstable slopes on both banks of water diversion project from the Yangtze to Huaihe River and is prone to deterioration after subjected to drying-wetting cycle conditions during water

Wettability decay in an oil-contaminated waste-mineral mixture with dry-wet cycles [PDF]

, 2015
The dependency of soil particle wettability on soil water content implies that soils subjected to drying-wetting cycles become wettable with wetting and water repellent with drying.

Reversible and irreversible dimensional changes of heat-treated wood during alternate wetting and drying [PDF]

, 2017
Spruce wood specimens were heat-treated in saturated water vapor (steaming) and in the absence of moisture (dry heating) at 120–180 °C, and their wet volumes were measured during alternate wetting and drying cycles.

Delayed compression and breakage of crushed mudstones due to the drying/wetting and temperature cycles [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Soft sedimentary rocks, especially mudstones, disintegrated or crumbled when subjected to cyclic drying and wetting, known as slaking, which was the cause of severe slope failures and ground settlement.

Sandstone Slope Stability Analysis Under Wetting-Drying Cycles Based on Generalized Hoek-Brown Failure Criterion

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The deterioration of rock strength due to cyclic fluctuations in the groundwater level in drawdown regions influences bank slope stability. Based on wetting–drying cycling and uniaxial compression tests of sandstone specimens, the intact rock strength ...
